rear discs ABS ring

[trophycabinet]

Am fitting new discs and pads all round. The front looks straighforward but need some help with the rears.

Ive just ordered some new rear discs and a pair of bearings to go with them. Can the ABS rings from the old discs be taken off and used on the new ones?

yes but you've got to be very careful - it's not straight forward to get it off.

there's a useful guide over on CS for changing the rear disks. You may also find this very useful:

Nice one mr cue

Looking at some of the posts on CS you can 'persuade' the abs ring off the old discs with a hammer and screwdriver.

I've got brembo hc discs going onto the front with some oe spec ferodo pads, got a great deal from York motor factors for all the bits and saved a bundle on standard renault items.

I'd like to change the fluid for something that could handle a couple of track days with higher boiling points, do you have any recommendations for decent fluid that doesnt need regular changes like the 5.1 stuff?

castrol response dot 4 racing fluid is my recommendation.

castrol response dot 4 racing fluid is my recommendation.

Doesn't that need replacing on an even more regular basis or am i getting it arse about face

 

[Cue]

no, about every two years is about right for it - you're thinking of dot 5.1 that needs changing every other month.
